Good morning all. I am plumbing a new bath in my basement and have some questions regarding size of distribution/supply pipes. The following is existing: (1)DWV system is in place (2)water supply is a private well (3)Water enters house via a 1" rubber hose and connects to a 1"brass pipe and anti back-flow device (4)this 1" line goes to Amtrol pressure tank and exits tank via a 3/4" copper distribution run with a whole house filter close to the beginning of this run (5)the 3/4" pipe runs approx. 12' towards the center of the house and then starts to branch off to kitchen, 1 bath, laundry, boiler, hose bib, AND doubles back to water heater all with 1/2" copper and exits the water heater also with 1/2" copper and supplies hot water (obviously) to fixtures requiring it (6)house is small - 24x30' (7) new bath is 29' from water supply entry point into house and also 29' from water heater. OK. Now my questions. (A) Shouldn't the line to and from the water heater be a 3/4" distribution size (as is the cold)? If so, should I upgrade it to 3/4 or leave it as is? (B)Should the distribution pipe from the existing 3/4" cold run to the new bath also with 3/4" and then go to 1/2" branch lines or should I use 1/2" branch lines all the way from existing to new bath? Whatever is done with the new cold (3/4" or 1/2") will be done with the new hot run. (C) I assume that running branch lines down from ceiling to new fixtures (via 1/2") is OK and won't adversely affect water pressure to a significant degree (D)I plan to run new supply line first to shower then branch of it to sink and toilet. Is this OK? (E)Finally, when complete, farthest run from entry point/water heater will be 30' as the crow flys and a total of approximately 70' total pipe run each hot/cold (not including hose bib or boiler) and will service 2 vanity sinks, 1 kitchen sink, 1 tub/shower, 1 shower only, 2 toilets, 1 washer, 1 hose bib, 1 boiler. Will this work? Appreciate any advice you can give me. Hope I've given enough info (probably too much)

Hey Bugs, welcome! and looks like you got the kinks worked out of your pics before I checked out your thread. My favorite is the red hibiscus stepping stone, but it's all good! Where are you located? You say "ya'll", and have LSU on a stone, and Gators...hmmmm? Somewhere southern is my guess :) I'm in north central Arkansas. Welcome, again! Veronica

maybe he is scared that BF is going to take dad's place or somehting of the sort. maybe A's dad has to have a conversation how he will always be his dad and mom will always be his mom no matter what else happens in life. somehting like that. Kids need stability, at this point he lacks that in his life, too many changes. he needs to know that his life is not going to go upside down because of parents' split, remarriage, new babies and so forth. Then this Bf is not the first BF that mom had, and dad had other girlfiends before. kid might be afraid to get attached and then lose these people again. he does not want to get used to soemhting that might be gone tomorrow. it is all too much for a child.

OK. First of all, the Capital Culinarian is an extremely simple range electrically and mechanically. One of the most simple out here. You have clearly just been dealing with absolute incompetence on the service end of things. Both with Capital, technicians who don't sound like they know what they're doing, and your dealer who COMPLETELY let you down. While this is a terrible situation to be in - in my mind, it is no reason to throw out such a new range. Don't give up yet! I would recommend contacting Trevor at Eurostoves. Even though you didn't buy the range from him (I assume), he will probably help you out. He seems to be very successful at resolving people's Capital issues that they couldn't resolve through other channels. Actually, he reads this forum, so he may be contacting you. Good luck!
